What the yearbook said

Somerville lost and Melrose won a brilliant scholar when Dottie left that city to come here at the beginning of her Senior year. Dottie’s thoughts are concentrated at present on getting to Simmons next year. Because of this, she has evaded the ever-present temptation of joining clubs, and has kept her mind strictly on her studies. Grind? I should say not! Just full of ambition, plus the courage and perseverance it takes to push all else aside to gain this goal. Dottie, you deserve the very best, and those of us who know you and realize what you have undertaken lift our voices in one harmonious — “Here’s to you!’’
